Jonas, I am hoping you could help me. I am trying to use MWAVE routine and its not working quite the way I expect. I am trying to make a cylinder move with a snake like motion, but when I create the morph targets the cylinder just moves up and down with no twisting like I expect. I suspect the template I'm using is wrong. Could you outline a precedure using MWAVE for me. Maybe its something real simple I'm not doing. Thanks much, Douglas Drossman 74032,3552

Hi Doug, << manta.. >> Have you analyzed the 2 files that shipped with Manta, ie. MWAVE_1.3ds and MWAVE_2.3ds? Do these work for you? jonas[adesk]

Hello again. I took a look and I cant seem to find those files! I hope I didn't delete or replace them. I made quite a few MWAVE files in my attempt to use the routine and I deleted them when I got fed up! I'd really appreciate it if you might be able to provide me with those two files if you feel I need them to understand the routine. I would really hate to have to reinstall the whole program! If you cant provide those files maybe you could just give me a brief description on how to use the routine. Much appreciated. Douglas

They ship with 3DS. I need it to understand the MWAVE routine. Also you might want to download the MWAVE demo file in IPAS library. The effects will astound you! Douglas Drossman
